timer.jpg That is my attempt. Place the blueprint power it , and put a satelite in the chest. The belt loop is sized to fit the 10 sec timer and is just there for demonstration purposes, one lap simulate one launch as if the chest was the rocket silo. Horizontal red arrow => receive the pulse from ...

More helpful than "you're stupid, look it up" would be some example of a situation where you go from less dollars to more dollars I am aware of fractional reserve banking. I count debt as "negative dollars": the bank loans you 1$ and -1$. I would have choosen ignorant rather tha...

Money is created when the government prints money. If everyone payed back debts, the amount of currency would not change. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. The Bond system is not the only money creation source i made a simplified sum up of one thing. Money is created when you go ...

I would say the way money is created relies on models that themselves relies on the idea that growth can be constant over virtually infinite amount of time. It is was fine happening for much time and i think part of it is based on the fact that population growth was following the same trend. I thin...

if all ore patch are disabled, the train will just skip them and go back to the "ore delivery" station. Instead of disabling the ore patch, reduce the limit of incoming train to 0. You will not be able to precisely decide which train wake up, but only 1 should wake up when any ore patch l...

It’s mainly the responsibility of the industrialised nations to fight climate change but it only works if everyone works together. We can only fix this with regulatory measures. And these must come quick and must be relatively extreme. One very broad approach is fighting capitalism with its own wea...

I was thinking about my drive to the grocery: tomatoes don’t increase the number of trips. Aha so you drive to the grocery ! driving is creating pollution you should stop driving ! ahem , no , i mean do you find tomatoes everytime you go to the grocery ? Tomato plant dies when it freeze, where i li...

It doesn't help that people will refuse to change for the better. For example quite a large amount of methane is produced via agriculture. A good way to cut on those would be just less meat intake for everybody. However actually try to tell people to eat less meats (and less animal dairy products) ...

Is there an easy way to control an inserter arm based on time ? Yes, you can power the inserter with a solar panel, it will only function during daytime :lol: I'd like to have an inserter arm only put one item on a belt from a requester chest say every 30 seconds or 1 minute to control production. ...

I always thought re-pathing means searching a new path to destination, not switching the destination (if not necessary)... There are 2 differents things, what you describe would be "path-revalidation" in this https://wiki.factorio.com/Railway/Train_path_finding While what happens i think ...

My guess is that some closer train station are freed before the train that was routing to the further one had reached it. Then this train using regular repath conditions switches its target destination to the newly found closest station. Reading incoming train to the far station would then change ac...

Thank you for some context. The trouble is that in a train stop name, there isn't any context. I just typed this on duckduckgo and look at when it´s used, there is twitter hashtag too and it´s not about mocking people ´s hair but rather sharing tips on how to slow down unwanted hair growth. True th...

Those kind of moment i try to dissecate music box blueprints gathered randomly throughout multiplayers

Also works with sliding text display, pi calculator and all sort of contraptions clever people came up with !

talking about educating oneself => https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25264521/ https://www.beautyglimpse.com/do-you-know-about-these-side-effects-of-hair-retarder-read-on/ personnaly i found myself in an economically-challenged position and find the work "broke" and "poor" offensiv...

Very interesting (hi)story, demonstrating if need be that this sticky post is accurate : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=30240 ( I want to make suggestions, but I got links to mods!! )

It's ok to answer "slowly" :) not everyone has the same consideration of time. I am not understanding what you call "reservation", but i would consider it is a name you use to describe your system, it's not the internal technical "reservation" that the game uses to mana...

The main risk of these methods (imo) is that inserters pick up one ressource, then can't load all they grabbed due a train being full and leaving, they won't put back the ressource in the chest, and when another train arrive, they would either drop the unwanted ressource on the cargo if you used cir...

Is there an analysis of how this compares with an ordinary LHD roundabout without the extra cross-tracks throught the middle of the circle? Not that i know of, but it should yield pretty similar result to the "crossabout" vs "roundabout" shown in page 1. Given this is a smaller ...

Not sure this should be here or in suggestions, but: Why is there no check for whether what you have quoted is actually what was posted,[add tons of crap here] or a way of approving quotes of yourself - There is nothing stopping me just changing what someone said in a quote of that person. there is...

yep that's better
